Freshman drama Obliterated held the dubious distinction of being the most watched Netflix series in the second half of 2023 to be canceled, according to the streamer’s viewership data made public today.

Unlike Obliterated and Shadow and Bone, whose cancellations came months after the premiere of their most recent seasons, Netflix announced ahead of time that Sex Education‘s fourth season, debuting Sept. 21, would be its last.
Based on the Season 4 performance of the teen sex comedy, which generated 46.3M views through end of 2023 to rank as #6, Netflix likely would’ve liked another installment.
